Falling
I tripped and I went falling,
This caused a bit of pain.
It hurt me and I decided,
I couldn’t try again.
I just couldn’t find the courage,
As I went tumbling backward that day.
Then there was a sudden brave spark,
Which made me want to play.
I ran out the wooden door,
I had nothing to lose.
I put on a brave face,
As I laced up my wheelie shoes.
